Sequential cohorts of three patients will be given increasing doses of oral topotecan and fixed doses of concurrent radiation (45GY) over five weeks.', 'detailedDescription': 'This is an open-label, single center, phase I study designed to determine the MTD or oral topotecan as a radiosensitizing agent in the treatment of rectal cancer patients. Sequential cohorts of three patients will be given increasing doses of oral topotecan and fixed doses of concurrent radiation (45GY) over five weeks. The starting dose of oral topotecan is 0.25mg/m2 to be concomitantly administered with radiation (45Gy) x 5 days every week unless the radiation is interrupted for Holidays/Weekends or toxicity requiring treatment delays occurs.\n\nA total of 25 doses is planned. Doses will be escalated in 0.15 mg/m2 increments thereafter in subsequent cohorts. Topotecan will be administered immediately before daily radiation.\n\nAll patients will undergo a rectal biopsy before treatment begins and during treatment. Tissue will be submitted to H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center for tumor marker assays. Tissue from the excised tumor at the time of surgery will also be sent for the same studies. Between day 10 and 14 of treatment, colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy is mandatory to ensure having a quantitative estimate of the tumor shrinkage and to obtain a repeat rectal biopsy. All patients will undergo radiation therapy concurrently with oral topotecan. Patients will receive 180 cGY per fraction to a total dose of 4500cGy(conventional fractionation) to the pelvis using a 3 or 4 filed technique and high energy photons. Standardized fields for rectal cancer will be used to include the true pelvis (mid sacrum to at least 2-3 centimeters below the inferior aspect of the tumor volume).\n\nPatients will undergo surgery-either a low anterior resection, abdominoperineal resection or local excision. All patients will be offered postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of 5-Fluorouracil (F-FU) 350 mg/m2/day i.v. for 5 days administered every 28 days times four cycles. Immediately prior to the administration of 5-FU, leucovorin will be administered at a dose of 20 mg/m2/day i.v. push daily for 5 days every 28 days times four cycles.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with histologically confirmed rectal cancer.\n* Written Informed Consent\n* Patients should be a candidate for preoperative radiotherapy\n* A primary tumor of 3cm or greater with a clinical stage of T2, T3 or T4 and any N according to the Astler-Coller modification of the Dukes staging system\n* Patient must be 18 years of age or older\n* Must have an ECOG performance status of 2 or Less\n* Diagnosis of rectal cancer should be no more than 90 days from initial clinic visit or from the start of therapy\n* Patients must be seen and evaluated at the H.
